Taking time to slowly take the CNYdecorations down with a slightly sore arm.
Now with my 1stCOVID-19vaccine taken, will await to see the effects before the 2nd-shot on 20Mar. In the meanwhile, tkx to niece Kat in NY/USA for this great share – enjoyed this interconnectedness of nature and our relationship to it. Never to get lost is not to live and the best sort of walk is the one on which it doesn’t matter twopence whether you get anywhere at all. https://www.brainpickings.org/2018/04/18/nan-shepherd-living-mountain-walking/
Favourite AT painting of TeamMofo/Guinness, Mofo, Pilgrim&Corky heading thru’ the WhiteMountains by Chuck Becky Aldridge. Looking forward with happy thoughts as to when I can see my family again and can hike, trekk or walk with my AThiking-buddies.
Sun: enjoyed the first moon on this 2021LunarCalender with no more sore in the arm or any other side-effects, hopefully none in the next few days to come. Boosting the immune system with tonic soup&rest – managed to gross-out some ppl with this pix before deboning the meat from the chicken to the final presentation to be served, lol.
Tkx to Gel for breakfast company and for being a GuineaPig for the soup which tasted much better than it looks, so do not judge the book by its cover hahaha.
